Anything can happen. Tomorrow, my flight ORD-MUC is a reconfigured 772 with the Polaris seats. It was not supposed to be that. Changed yesterday. I keep checking the seat map as I know that if they switch back to the non-reconfigured one, the computer will assign me a middle seat in the group of 4 whereas I used to have an aisle seat before the switch.
This is now getting too OT but my ORD-MUC was switched back to the normal 2-4-2 772. They gave me a window seat and I hate window seats that are not also aisle. Map is full so no changing. I guess I should not complain (too much) as my wife now has no seat.

Looking at the seat map from that EWR-ORD flight today, it's definitely a 777-300, tail #2786 , 28 upgrades! Anyone know where it's going next?
The 772 on EWR-ORD is a shuttle for EWR long-hauls repositioning to ORD.

As new aircraft are brought into service, they are frequently used on the transcon routes. But eventually they move to the long-haul routes, There have not been any recent additions of 77W (but more are planned), so they have dropped out of the transcon routes for the most part.

777-300ER is doing a SFO-BOS return today. Im scheduled on it but probably have to change. If I dont, is $429 upg to Polaris worth it?

Oops, I thought today was the 24th and was surprised it had filled up so 'early'. (Those missing three stayed missing; empty seats en route.)

Yeah, flight is half way across the country, and showing the 3 empty seats up front.
Wonder where it's off to next, is there any way to tell?
